Leviticus 12
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, A woman when she gives seed, and has borne a male, then she has been unclean [for] seven days; she is unclean according to the days of separation for her sickness;
Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Naar en Kvinde bliver frugtsommelig og føder en Dreng, skal hun være uren i syv Dage; ligesom i den Tid hun har sin maanedlige Urenhed, skal hun være uren.
3 and in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised;
Paa den ottende Dag skal Drengen omskæres paa sin Forhud.
4 and she abides in the blood of her cleansing [for] thirty-three days; she does not come against any holy thing, and she does not go into the sanctuary, until the fullness of the days of her cleansing.
Derefter skal hun holde sig hjemme i tre og tredive Dage, medens hun har sit Renselsesblod; hun maa ikke røre ved noget helligt eller komme til Helligdommen, før hendes Renselsestid er omme.
5 And if she bears a female, then she has been unclean [for] two weeks, as in her separation; and she abides by the blood of her cleansing [for] sixty-six days.
Føder hun derimod et Pigebarn, skal hun være uren i to Uger ligesom under sin maanedlige Urenhed; og derpaa skal hun holde sig hjemme i seks og tresindstyve Dage, medens hun har sit Renselsesblod.
6 And in the fullness of the days of her cleansing for son or for daughter she brings in a lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove for a sin-offering, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest;
Naar hendes Renselsestid er omme, skal hun, baade efter et Drengebarn og et Pigebarn, bringe et aargammelt Lam som Brændoffer og en Dueunge eller Turteldue som Syndoffer til Præsten ved Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang;
7 and he has brought it near before YHWH, and has made atonement for her, and she has been cleansed from the fountain of her blood; this [is] the law of her who is bearing, in regard to a male or to a female.
og han skal frembære det for HERRENS Aasyn og skaffe hende Soning, saa hun bliver ren efter sit Blodtab. Det er Loven om en Kvinde, der føder, hvad enten det er en Dreng eller en Pige.
8 And if her hand does not find the sufficiency of a sheep, then she has taken two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt-offering and one for a sin-offering, and the priest has made atonement for her, and she has been cleansed.”
Men hvis hun ikke evner at give et Lam, skal hun tage to Turtelduer eller Dueunger, en til Brændoffer og en til Syndoffer, og Præsten skal skaffe hende Soning, saa hun bliver ren.
